Re Attached.
Please receive reports following visits to Coachbuilders with Mr Oldham. As none of the Coachbuilders recommend supporting a body on 4 points (points under door pillars) I suggest we wait experiments now being made with frame ties etc. before designing a body of such necessarily increased weight, capable to support itself, yet which in coachbuilders opinion, would not be satisfactory if supported on 4 points.
